Marguerite Home.

The annual meeting of the Board OF
Trustees of the Marguerite Home for Aged
Women was held at the Home corner OF
Seventh and o streets, on the evening OF
Founders Day, February 25th. From the
Ieports OF the officers it is ascer-
tanned that the affairs of the insti-
tuition have prospered during the ..year,
and although there have been a few cases
OF illness, none of the aged inmates have
died. The income from all sources has
amounted to $3.50 %, while the total ex-
penses aggregate s., 494 80. 1t is now thee
years since this elegant property, with a
Liberal endowment, was given by Mrs.
Margaret L. Croker 10 the Board of Trus-
tees for the benefit of such aged women as
were deemed worthy of admission. One
OF the first acts of the Board was TO deter
mine how many INDECENT old ladies could
be supported upon the income of the en-
dowment fund and to arrange for the adj
mission of those whocould be received
upon tins basis. In a short time the list
belonging TO this class was entirely filled,
and as there still remains in the spacious
building rooms for more inmates, it was
determined by the Board of Trustees to
form on additional class for the benefit
of those aged and homeless women who,
49,
selves of the benefits and advantages of the
Home. IN accordance with the British
annuity tables a rate depending upon the
age of the applicant was fixed upon for
admission and life support, and number
of very intelligent ladies are now being
cared for upon these conditions.
Taking all together, the inmates form a
body OF good women. who easily adapt
themselves to their situation. and who
fully appreciate the munifcence of their
benefactress. In no part of the world can
there be found an Institution of this nature
which excels the Marguerite Home, either
IN its management or the character of its
accommodations and surroundings. Our
people are justly proud of its success, and
visiting strangers are loud in their praises
OF the noble woman who planned its
foundation. The Trustees are Messrs.
Carroll, Miller, McCreary, Simmons and
"Galla;in, while the active management is
vested in the lady Directresses -Mesdames
McCreary, Simmons and Gallatin The
Matron is Miss Fanny Stafford. and the at
tending physician DR.. w. A. Briggs APP
plications for admission can be made
through the Secretary, Charles z. Dillman,
at the banking house of D. 0. Mills & Co.

Cinderella and Her Glass s,ippe,

The charming operetta of Cinderella
will be rendered at The Metropolitan The
alter for a series of nights, commencing
next Thursday, by several hundred chill
dren of Sacramento and San Francisco, I'M
der the management of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Benton, of New York, who are the origi-
majors of Juvenile opera. Mrs. Benton in
structed and trained the first juvenile opera
company in America-Haverly' Juvenile
Pinafore Company, which swept the United
States with such furore, and attained a
success which was never approached until
the author of that popular scheme con-
ceiyed the idea of producing Cinderella"
This charming extravaganza gives a better
glimpse of fairy-land than can ever be
found in dreams or pictorial primers. 1t is
gorgeous and magnificent, and all the
scenic effects necessary 10 connect reality
with the transcendent beauties of wonder
land are brought into requisition. Much
time and labor is required TO train from
two TO three hundred children to perform
the different roles of the cast but the pa
tience and energy Of the iustructress has
never failed to overcome all obstacles. and
those who witness the rendition of Gin
derella' will readily perceive that il merits
all the praise that it has ever received. Mr..
Benton carries with him large number of
people for the leading parts in the produc-
tion, and the children are thus more easily
schooed in their duties.

sCHLIEMANN,s CAREER.
The Postal Money-order Operators Life
in Woodland.

in Woodland.
Ernest F. Schliemann, who was arrested
in Sacramento Wednesday evening, through
the neat management Of Deputy Post
master Leake, for forgeries committed at
the Woodland Postoffice. is still confined
at the city prison, awaiting the arrival Of a
Government officer to get him. Tie Wood
land Democrat, referring to his arrest, has
the following reference 10 his career in
Woodland, and it may be inferred, from
the account given of his money spending.
that he found other opportunities to put
money in his purse besides those that have
come to light
" 1t has been over year ago since Ernest
Sehliemann first appeared in Woodland
He was soon an object of interest, on ac-
count OF his enormous feet and a general
air of dirtiness. He was, however, well
received, as he was the nephew of our
County Clerk, and for time all went well.
He worked occasionally at the -four mill,
and at other places. and our citizens be-
came imbued with the idea that he was a
very peculiar yet very good young man.
He worked a few days in the County
Clerks office, and finally, as Mr.. Pedlar
had to have someone in the Postoffice for
few days, he obtained the services OF
Schliemann. During the short time Schlie-
mann was in the office few things went
wrong, ard the man was put under sur
veillance. A young man was recently az
rested at Sacramento, and many thought
his arrest would explain certain crooked
transactions. Detective Cone, however, it
is said, did not think SO, and he told GER
tain Woodland lawyer that Schliemann
was doing the business and that sooner
or later he would be captured Schlie-
mann has been watched for several weeks,
although he was dismissed a month
ago. Many of our people have remarked
during the past two months that
Schliemann had lots of money for man
that never worked. 1t was a common
practice for him to eat a little lunch that
would cost him dollar. He would wave
five-cent cigar away in scorn. and three
for halt seemed none too good for him
He has been regular patron of the hockey
pokey games, and was steady loser.
Pedro was another failing of the gentle
man, and he used to pay for the drinks
about twenty tunes in an evening Last
week he was observed coming FROM the
depot with pocket full of cigars, big
one in his mouth, while he was jingling a
considerable amount OF money in his
pocket. young acquaintance told him
he evidently had lots OF money. Schlie-
mann said. Yes, he always had lots of it,
lie went into a restaurant the other day
and threw down twenty-dollar piece to
pay small bill. A few minutes later he
was engaged in pedro game, and, becom-
ing stuck, rendered another double eagle
in payment. On the whole he was very
gay bird, and his capture was a surprise TO
many, but those who knew him best were
looking for sudden winding up of his
